Catherin found herself in a difficult situation. Both of her parents asked her to marry a CEO who happened to be the son of her father's boss. All of this was done to pay off her father's debt and fund her sibling's surgery. Although Catherin didn't want to marry young, she also didn't want to defy her parents. The inner conflict between her personal desires and family responsibilities presented a confusing dilemma for her. Catherin found herself trapped in an unwanted marriage with Nolan, a CEO who also didn't want it. At the beginning of their marriage, Nolan often behaved harshly and belittled Catherin, assuming that she only married him for money, considering Catherin's humble family background. The conflicts in their marriage further complicated Catherin's situation, as she now had to struggle not only against the pressures from both of her parents but also from her husband. Catherin was devastated when she realized that her husband, Nolan, was having an affair. She saw with her own eyes Nolan with another woman in the room that should have been hers. The betrayal left Catherin feeling even more hurt and depressed in her already difficult marriage. Catherin wanted to ask for a divorce, but she was faced with a threat that her father would have to pay off the debt and as a result, her sibling could not undergo much-needed surgery. With a broken heart, Catherin was forced to endure her marriage even though it made her suffer greatly. However, amidst the hardship, Nolan eventually realized that his mistress was not a faithful woman. Thanks to Catherin's kindness and sincerity, her marriage with Nolan started to improve. Nolan began to fall in love with Catherin and even felt jealous when other men approached her.
View MoreUntil the evening came, Catherin's heart still pounded remembering her husband's request that morning. Because it was her first time, Catherin was still nervous and afraid of pain."Catherin, eat a lot," Emma said, serving her daughter-in-law plenty of rice. They had dinner with lots of laughter, as Emma told stories about her past with Louis, many of which were funny.Catherin was happy to have a day like that, a day where she could laugh with her husband and family. She felt happy because of her decision to give her husband a chance. For her, humans are a place for mistakes and forgiveness. There's nothing wrong with giving her husband a chance for their happiness together.After dinner, Catherin and Nolan went to their room. Of course, Nolan wanted to assert his rights as he had mentioned that morning. Catherin went to the bathroom first, to prepare herself mentally. She looked at her face in the large mirror in the bathroom, turning to the right and left. She took a deep breath an
"Stop calling Maria a 'slut'!" Nolan shouted at Catherin.Catherin got up and left the dining room because of her husband's rude behavior. After grabbing her bag, she went outside, but Nolan grabbed her hand tightly. Catherin stopped walking after her husband held her hand tightly. With resentment, she stared at her husband. Nolan should be begging her, not constantly blaming her. Despite being slapped twice, Nolan still yelled at her, even though Nolan was the one at fault. He went too far."Let go!" Catherin yelled at Nolan - her husband who was nine years older than her. However, Nolan's attitude was not much different from a child who could not distinguish between right and wrong."Where are you going?" Nolan asked, while Catherin was still trying to free her hand from Nolan's grip."It's none of your business!" Catherin yelled, already emotional."I'm still your husband, I still have the right to know all your affairs," Nolan said, reluctant to release his wife's hand."What kind
Catherin stood in front of the mirror in the hospital restroom, finishing washing her face to calm her anger."I will make your family suffer the consequences for what you did to Dad," Nolan threatened her after yelling at her shortly after his arrival at the hospital. Catherin continued to remember his threat, which made her even angrier at him. However, she couldn't deny that she was also afraid that Nolan would actually take out his anger on her family.Nolan was at fault, but it was still Catherin who was blamed. That's the fate of a poor person like her; no one would appreciate her. Especially her husband, who was forced to marry her since birth and already held a silver spoon. She meant nothing to him, so it wouldn't be difficult for Nolan to get rid of her and her family.Catherin left the restroom and found her mother-in-law asleep on the bench outside Louis's room, leaning on her only child's shoulder. Nolan glanced at Catherin, and she decided to go home, back to her parents
Catherin's eyes widened as wide as they could, almost as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. Her mouth also opened as wide as possible, almost tearing apart, so shocked by what she saw. Her heart shattered, seeing her husband being intimate with another woman. While she, as his lawful wife, never received proper treatment from him, let alone such affection."What are you doing?!" Catherin yelled as she saw Nolan trying to get up from the bed and approach her."Hey! What's wrong with you?! You dare to barge in without knocking first?!" Nolan yelled back, grabbing his shorts to cover part of his body.Catherin was shocked beyond measure to realize that Nolan was scolding her instead of apologizing. Meanwhile, the woman with whom her husband was with quickly grabbed her clothes and went to the bathroom. However, she smirked at Catherin before leaving.Nolan walked towards his wife, slapping Catherin's left cheek with his right hand, quite hard.Catherin held her cheek, which
Catherin truly didn't understand the meaning of her husband's behavior - Nolan - all this time. From the beginning of their marriage, which was forced, Nolan showed his cold and cruel attitude in front of his wife. However, in the past few days, he has been kind to his wife, although he still scolds and shouts at Catherin. He even got angry when he saw his wife's body full of bruises from being attacked by people. Nolan also referred to Catherin as his wife, which made Catherin feel a little proud."Choose, I'll buy it for you as a gift," Nolan said.This time, Nolan kept his promise to take his wife to buy a new car. "I don't understand cars, Nolan. You choose, I'll just follow," Catherin said honestly, who didn't understand cars because her family had never been able to afford one."I want that one," Nolan said to the man offering various types of cars in the showroom.Nolan pointed to a black sedan that looked very luxurious, which Catherin thought was very nice."It's a coincidenc
Nolan looked very angry, and Catherin didn't understand why her husband had to be so angry. Meanwhile, Nolan's treatment of her had been worse than the three women who had ganged up on her earlier. Nolan left the dressing room, and Catherin followed him slowly. Catherin thought Nolan would soon take a shower, but instead, he grabbed her phone from the table and made a call."Check all the CCTV cameras on my wife's campus. Find out who dared to touch my wife!" Nolan said, leaving Catherin stunned.Catherin didn't know what to feel at that moment, but there was a sense of happiness in her heart because her husband was worried about her. Moreover, Nolan also referred to her as 'my wife,' which made Catherin feel a little proud."What will you do if you meet those who beat me up earlier?" Catherin dared to ask Nolan, who was still standing near the bed."I will teach them a lesson for touching what's mine," Nolan said, making Catherin feel like she was floating, for some reason."You are
When dinner time arrived, Louis brought up Catherin's request to move to Nolan's house."If you're not comfortable living with us, I'll allow you to stay there. But you must come here as often as possible, at least once a week. If not, your mother and I will stay there," he said softly.Catherin smiled happily, nodding in agreement. Of course, she was happy because her request to move houses had been approved by her in-laws. What she imagined now was being in a different room from her husband; she still didn't want Nolan to touch her. His rough behavior made her feel that way."Yes, Sir. Nolan and I will visit here often," Catherin said loudly."Call him 'dad'." This time, it was Nolan who spoke. The man smiled satisfactorily, as he had a cunning plan he wanted to execute after living in his own house.Unconsciously, Nolan was already smiling. It was something Catherin rarely saw. The woman felt her husband was handsome when he smiled, making her heart beat faster."Oh, sorry, Dad. So
Catherin stared at her phone screen as she woke up, startled to see the time. "Ah, I'm late," she said, sitting up. She then held her head because she felt dizzy. She was busy gathering energy to get out of bed. However, she felt a pain, as if something was about to explode in her head."Just rest at home today, don't go to class," Nolan said, who was already dressed neatly, today his wife did not help Nolan prepare his clothes. The man knew his wife was really sick and he felt sorry for her.In Catherin's heart, she was afraid if her husband would be angry because she woke up late. However, it was unusual for Nolan to speak so casually if he was angry. Not to mention Nolan told her to rest, it was really strange. Because of the headache, Catherin didn't want to think about anything too far. Her fever was also loyal, she wouldn't care if her husband was angry.There was a knock on the door, but Catherin instead lay back on the bed. The woman hoped her husband would open their bedroom
Morning arrived, Catherin dashed to pick out clothes that had to suit her husband's taste. If Nolan didn't like them, she had to choose another outfit until her husband said okay. After finishing serving her husband in the bedroom, Catherin went downstairs to the kitchen following her husband's steps - Nolan. Just as she reached the kitchen, she felt like she was going to vomit. Before she could even sit down, she ran to the toilet near the kitchen. Her stomach felt uncontrollably nauseous, perhaps because she had slept on the floor for two consecutive nights with just a blanket. As she emerged from the toilet, all eyes were on her."Are you sick?" asked Emma, who immediately approached his daughter-in-law."Maybe Catherin's stomach is bloated, Mom," Catherin answered honestly, as she did feel uncomfortable.However, it seemed like there were eyes looking at Catherin with hope. Who else but Louis? The man was eagerly hoping to have grandchildren soon, but it was impossible for Catheri
Catherin Mia looked her parents in the eye, her tone resolute. "I can't do it, Mom, Dad. I still want to finish my studies," she said firmly, rejecting their proposal for her to marry their chosen suitor.As the eldest in a humble family of farmers, Catherin understood the value of education. Despite being in her sixth semester at 21, she felt that marrying at such a young age wasn't right for her. Marriage had never been a part of her plans.Catherin's aspiration was to graduate, gain work experience, and possibly have a stable income before considering marriage. She had never been involved in a romantic relationship, as her parents had raised her to be cautious and avoid interactions with unfamiliar individuals. Additionally, she believed that dating would only be a distraction.Since her youth, Catherin had been preparing herself for an arranged marriage, out of respect for her parents' wishes.
